Got everything togther and started it last night. First, it would only start if I gave it a little gas. It would die if I let my foot off the pedal until it warmed up a little then would idle fine. Once runnign it sounded great.
But after a minute or so, smoke (or steam) rolled out the exhaust. Reving it more produced more white smoke. Liquid dripped from the tailpipe. When I looked at it this morning, the liquid that dripped on the ground was still there. (on the ground).
I started it up briefly this morning and after a minute it began smoking again. It did not seem quite as bad but was definitely there.
Ironically, when I checked the dipstick, the level was still in the normal range and it seemed to look fine.
I guess this thing must have had a cracked block. Is it possibel a sealer would fix this long enough to get rid of it? What is this thing worth at a junk yard?
I am assuming the starting problem is due to fuel sync issues? How woudl I go about adjusting that at home without a scan tool?
Any help is appreciated! I am going to go cry now.....
